InspireINK blog hop: Hannah’s Sketch Challenge

Hello Everyone,

Today I am blog hopping with my friends for this month’s InspireINK challenge.

Hannah has given us this cute sketch to use.

I have chosen to stay with a Christmas theme for my card.

Some Dashing Along Designer Series Paper was adhered to a white card base.

The Stitched Labels dies were used to cut the little heart circle.

The sentiment from the Merry Christmas to All was stamped with versamark I K and heat embossed in gold.

The Detailed Poinsettia dies were used to cut and embossed with the Big Shot Embossing mats. This was adhered with dimensionals and clear Wink of Stella added over the top.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

2 cards, 1 design

Hi Folks,

Sometimes I like to make the most of my craft time by making multiple cards of the same design.

Today the same layout has been used to make a landscape and portrait card.

Two card bases can be made from one sheet of Old Olive A4 Card stock. Score the short side first at 5-7/8 inches and then cut lengthways a 4-1/8 inches.

Patterned paper was cut to 5-3/4 by 4 inches, then cut diagonally. Each piece was adhered to the loose corner of the card base.

A pearlized doily was added next with the sentiment. This was stamped with Old Olive ink and cut with the Everyday Label Punch.

Leaves were punched from black and white Vellum card stock.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Quick Cards featuring Twinkle Twinkle DSP (part 1)

Good Morning!

Today I am using Designer Series Paper and an bossing folder to create simple cards.

I have picked three sheetsof Twinkle Twinkle DSP with a predominant base colour, (Soft Sea Foam, Petal Pink and Gray Granite).

Each of the coordinating card stock colours were used to make a standard card base. The front was then embossed with the Maps Embossing folder.

DSP was cut to 3 inches by 2 inches. A piece of white card was cut to make a layer behind the paper. The panel was then adhered in the bottom right corner of the card base.

I wanted a bold sentiment for the front. The “congratulations” from Friendly Expressions was perfect. This was stamped with coordinating ink, trimmed to size and added to the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

Also check out the Blended Season bundle available during August, while stocks last.

Making a £45 purchase during August earns a £4.50 voucher to spend in September, just in time for the seasonal catalogue release!

For George

Hello Everyone,

Last week we said goodbye to one of our colleagues who was moving on to pursue her dream career.

As she loves butterflies, I knew exactly which set to use.

The large butterfly from the Beautiful Day was stamped with Stazon ink and allowed to dry completely.

In the meantime, the base was prepared by layering Whisper White card stock on to Gray Granite card stock. Some Bermuda Bay ink was used to add some texture to the background.

The sentiment was stamped with Melon Mambo ink and layered on to Smoky Slate card stock. The corners were rounded with the Detailed Trio punch.

The butterfly was coloured using watercolour pencils and blender pens. A bone folder was used to add shape the wings which were secured with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

Today is also the last day to enjoy the Designer Series Paper sale and take advantage of the amazing joining offer.

Daisy Delight C.A.S.E. Card

Hi Everyone,

Today’s post is a little different. I have cased another member of the team, Carol Ann Pendleton. She had made a beautiful card with the Daisy Delight stamp set, I wanted to make my own version.

The overall layout had been kept the same.

To make the background, Gray Granite ink was used to stamp the bubbles from the Playful Backgrounds stamp set.

Petal Pink Ink was used to stamp the Daisy. I also used this colour for the layering.

The small leaves were stamped with Granny Apple Green and Soft Sea Foam and fussy cut. Additional leaves were made with the Leaf punch.

Fresh Fig Ruffled ribbon was adhered behind the Daisy.

A sentiment was stamped in Fresh Fig ink and tucked under the flower.

Finally, a clear faceted gem was adhered to the Daisy centre and Petal Pink pearls were added to the background.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Lovely Happy Birthday

Good Morning!

I’ve made another large card for today’s project. This one features the Whole Lot of Lovely designer series paper.

The base was made from Tangerine Tango card stock which was cut lengthways at 5-7/8 inches and then folded in half. Keep the leftover strip for later.

A 5-3/4 inch square of patterned paper was added to the front.

Two 3-3/4 inch squares of Tangerine Tango were cut to make the topper. One was covered with patterned paper.

The plain square was adhered flat to the card base with Snail adhesive. The patterned piece was added at an angle with dimensionals.

Using the strip of leftover card stock, punch out six flowers with the Pansy punch. Also cut three sets of leaves from Old Olive card stock with the Leaf Punch.

Each of the flowers were lightly spritzed with water and scrunched. Once dry, two flowers were layered together with glue dots.

The flowers and leaves were arranged in the corner. Black rhinestones were added to the centres.

I used my stamparatus to make sure the sentiment was stamped well. Using the tool allowed me to stamp twice in the same place to give a very crisp image. I cut some banner ends and adhered with Snail adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.
